Winemaker Notes
Three Monks 2005 characterizes Taltarni's distinctive style of opulent flavors, structure and cellaring ability.
Deep black cherry in color.
The nose holds an alluring assortment of uplifted black cherries, dark berry fruits, scorched almonds, coffee, tobacco leaves and licorice allsorts.
On the palate, this is a well-structured wine with layers of plump plum and blackberry fruits combined with a mix of savory spices, subtle herbs and firm, dusty tannins.
The explosion of rich fruit flavors in Taltarni's Three Monks 2005 makes it ideal for immediate enjoyment, although it also offers the complexity and structure to age gracefully. A perfect accompaniment to a veal ragout.

Established in 1969, Taltarni was one of the founding wineries in the iron-rich Pyrenees wine region in Victoria. John Goelet, a direct descendant of the Guestier wine merchant family of Bordeaux, discovered the Taltarni Vineyard through a worldwide search for a site comparable to the great vineyards of Bordeaux. From the outset, Taltarni has a strong French influence with the initial plantings of Bordeaux varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Soon after, Taltarni extended its plantings with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay. The Goelet family also sources Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Taltarni has built its reputation on elegant sparkling wines that are crafted using methode traditionale techniques, as wells as producing exceptional red and white wines. The distinctive labels, featuring a 17th century cartouche, represent the attention to detail and the French elegance and finesses that are hallmarks of all Taltarni wines.
